He's the chairman of an entity that still doesn't allow women to play and he wants to talk about role models??

Yes<br /><br />Do the women cashing in their 15 minutes of fame have some blame? Yes<br /><br />But really what does it matter? I am a parent of two and my wife and I are the only role models for our children that matter. <br /><br />This entertainment tonight society we live in is a sad commentary on us as a populous and I fear just another sign of the dumbing of the world.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10810742175627330536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-980010523927297374.post-20262477191045277712010-04-09T00:04:54.295-04:002010-04-09T00:04:54.295-04:00Readers/Commenters - we apologize for some of the ...Readers/Commenters - we apologize for some of the postings tonight. We try our hardest to monitor the comments, but obviously fail from time to time.

I'm not so sure of the timing. Not for the sake of "King Eldrick" but for the other 95 players in the field. The LAST thing any of them needed was for Billy Payne to pour more fuel on the fire and force every player to make a comment on his comments. Monday would have been better so at least they could have three days to defuse the inevitable stupid questions that come from certain golf channel employees. <br /><br />Tiger is and always was a great player. Tiger never was a great person. Maybe just maybe he will change. Everyone deserves a second chance. <br /><br />Many of the greats including Hogan and Jack and to a certain extent Watson were not very fan friendly. I'm willing to give Tiger a chance. His new NIKE ad is a horrible start! <br /><br />Watson is tied for the lead, 5 under after his round today as I write. It's a long way to Sunday afternoon and the back nine when the Masters really starts but we can all dream of "hucks" redemption for last years Open. I'm rooting for bad weather when Tom plays his best.Gordonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-980010523927297374.post-37604381306364609442010-04-08T15:57:48.561-04:002010-04-08T15:57:48.561-04:00Did Tiger start at Augusta because he knew there w...Did Tiger start at Augusta because he knew there were no female members?<br /><br />ZING!Sr. Hilariosonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-980010523927297374.post-71024962606931759742010-04-08T14:09:34.996-04:002010-04-08T14:09:34.996-04:00Your premonition of Watson is pretty spot on...wit...Your premonition of Watson is pretty spot on...with stormy weather on the way, and his great play, he may very well be the Day 1 leader.<br /><br />Crazy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
